Goodies for your craft room. Or cupboard. Or box.
A box of goodies arrived today! We ripped it open, discarded packing and stuffing to find these lovely crafty bits:Wooden envelope templatesTemplates for pretty shaped envelopesI used the unusually shaped ones to quickly make the above 'envelopes'. They take no...
Goodness it's been a busy one.
So much cake today! Brownies and lemon drizzle for our knicker ladies this morning:

Bunting!

Our crafty hens are going to use all the bunting they made to decorate the bride's wedding, with labels saying who made each one. Good luck...
Gone hibernating.
We've decided to stay at home today folks. It's snowing again and I rather imagine that you would all prefer to be indoors as well. Apologies to those of you with urgent gift/craft/vintage/soap/felt woodland animal needs. Service will resume as normal tomorrow, assuming we're not snowed in.

Not, as may be expected, in the facial hair department (I have kept my 'tash and am almost able to curl the ends of it), but in a lack of an outlet for my blogging pretensions. Following a soupçon of begging and emotional blackmail, Emily has kindly let me back onto...
